I have a thing that can only accept 2-Pin Fan Connectors and the problem is I need a 60mm fan with 5 Volts of power and it needs to be a fan with a 2-pin connector. And the fan has to be as quiet as possible, the Noctua NF-A6x25 5V is a close match, but it doesn't have a 2-Pin connector.

So I either need a fan that follows all those requirements or a 3-pin to 2-pin fan adapter.

if you want Noctua's performance and quality then you can try connecting the NF-A6x25 5V but making sure that its the red & black wires connecting, could work.

Another option if that doesn't work and you have bought the NF-A6x25 5V would be to use the included adapter set that comes with the fan.
Connect the 3pin from the NF-A6x25 5V into the adapter then connect the red & black wires up with a 2pin cable using the joiners. You will have to purchase a 2pin cable separately or purchase a 2pin fan which you can take the cable off of. This is the expensive option but worth it.
